First of all thank you to my brother Nick for holding me accountable for posting regularly. I haven't been contributing because I haven't been doing much making or teaching since leaving Oaxaca mid-July after which we continued to travel in Mexico and Guatemala before heading home for more trips in Michigan and Wisconsin. Other than some scattered sketches and a few runs of stitches into a quilt, I haven't been creatively productive at all. To be honest, I've been relishing this dormant time which is barren in its laziness because life is becoming increasingly full as I begin the Masters in Art Education program at the Art Institute in Chicago. Today was the orientation for graduates and tomorrow is the one for my department of Art Education. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One message which was not lost on me today was that SAIC is full of resources and being an artist is all about exploiting those resources primarily through making connections and networking. As a devout home body, I am going to really make an effort as much as I can to attend lectures, go to shows, and simply dwell in the museum's galleries. It will be a challenge considering my time will be divided into teaching part-time and caring for my family, you know those important people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, on the El ride home, I pulled a brochure from the pile stowed in my complimentary tote bag. The brochure was for Ox-Bow, an artists school and residency program in the Michigan wilderness which is affiliated with SAIC. Inside the cover is a list of rules written by Sister Corita Kent. I think these are worthy of adherence as I try to make the most of my short time at SAIC.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 1: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 2: General duties of a student -- pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 3: General duties of a teacher -- pull everything out of your students. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 4: Consider everything an experiment</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 5: Be self-disciplined -- this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 6: Nothing is a mistake. There's no win and no fail, there's only make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 7: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It's the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 8: Don't try to create and analyze at the same time. They're different processes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 9: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It's lighter than you think.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Rule 10: "We're breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities." -- John Cage</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
HINTS: Always be around. Come or go to everything. Always go to classes. Read anything you can get your hands on. Look at movies carefully, often. Save everything -- it might come in handy later. </div>

PS I really love numbers 6 and 8. Also, I'm considering launching a new website with a blog as part of it. I'll keep you posted if there any changes on the horizon!</div>

I'm so obsessed with the shrines in Oaxaca, that I had to make my own. I used cereal boxes, tape, glue, paint, colored pencils, and marker to make this three-some. In the center is La Virgen de Guadalupe. To the left is Nuestra Senora de Soledad, the patroness of Oaxaca City, and all the way to the right is Nuestra Senora de Juquila, the patroness of Oaxaca State. Now for some miracles. . .<br />

I regard these little paintings as exercises which I tire of after an hour or two. They are like sketches with paint. I do miss working on bigger projects--that begin with a vision or a compulsion which I feel driven to bring into being. Perhaps this is not the time to be undertaking such a project when most of my time and energy is devoted to soaking up the creative energies in which I am immersed. Perhaps the big projects will come later after I've digested a bit.

This is a drawing of one of the indigenous art pieces from the Rufino Tamayo museum. It is oil pastel on top of Acrylic. I love these ceramic figures, and it was a nice change of pace to draw rather than render in paint. I've really been filling up my sketchbook. For some reason drawing seems to be pleasing my brain more lately. But, I like that the underpainting shows through and gives intrigue and dimension to the drawing.<br />

I finished this lady last night. She is based on this planter in our roof garden which features a Senorita carrying a vessel on her head which is overflowing with a succulent. The pattern behind her is taken from the iron chairs up there, and the green image on the bottom is from our wooden dining room chairs. The side tiles are taken from the inside of a fountain that was at a park we attended last week. I feel like these paintings are becoming collages of what I am noticing. They are a way to digest what I am seeing and learn about it through copying.<br />

I was having fun last night painting a rooster pot and rug patterns. I definitely would love to learn more of the tarpeta making process. I can't wait to try it at home.<br />

I saw a ceramic statue in the cultural museum the other day. I included a picture of her in our Oaxaca blog. I sketched her in my sketchbook and painted her last night. It was fun. I'd like to make ceramic pieces like her upon returning to Chicago.

If I had any sophistication in my painting before, I've lost it. I don't know if it is the effects ofdifferent supplies or being out of my element, I'm having trouble finding my creative groove. I'm taking photos and sketching, but I'm having trouble with painting. I'll keep on at it, and we'll see what develops.Anna Lentzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05309113729710775157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5953661286742666219.post-34754438537604945152014-06-13T21:16:00.003-05:002014-06-13T21:16:48.235-05:00Painting In Oaxaca<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While vacationing in Oaxaca, I'm attempting to paint as much as I can. These 9 x 12 paper sheets make it easy to create quick, non-precious studies of images/objects/places that I am in love with. This first one is of a pot at my Mom's house which belonged my Great-Grandma Margaret. In addition to painting, I'm sketching/journaling, and I packed embroidery and my first ever reverse applique project. I always get ambitious when I pack art materials. I know one thing is for sure; all of the sites here will be enough inspiration for the whole year.

It is standing above Lake Huron in Canada. It was the perfect finishing touch, and the perfect way to wrap our cartography project. Also on on Saturday, we participated in a carnival fundraiser for one of our students who has cancer. We melted donated crayons, poured them into a button mold, and then cleaned them up after they cooled. The kids strung the crayon buttons onto wire along with other plastic beads to make whimsical, colorful jewelry. In addition to this activity, we offered a pinwheel making project which I didn't photograph. I can't say enough how much I enjoy collaborating with Faith and bringing inspiration and creativity to the students. I have a feeling that we are just getting started!<br />

I can't imagine a better life or a more enjoyable day complete with uncontrollable giggles. To top it off, we kept getting so inspired regarding more Marian art, puppets, and quilts, and all of it happening in the woods! Tomorrow is the last day of school for St.Therese kids. We finished just in time.<br />

My sister is the art teacher at the elementary school St. Therese in Aurora. She began painting a mural of Guadalupe with her students who graduated yesterday. I spent the day painting with her and was completely happy to not only be painting but to be with my sister. It was further a delight to be in a small and happy school with enthusiastic students, and it was surreal to be standing in the halls where my parents went to grade school. The building hasn't changed too much since then, and I felt a definite connection to the past. I might be able to paint another day next week in an attempt to finish the project before the end of the year. I feel privileged to be a part of this project. Thanks Lisa!</div>

The base is styrofoam and the carnival chair preferred a more durable surface. So I consulted my creative department, brothers Nick and Jeff, and they recommended doing paper mache over the surface. I did two layers, then gesso, paint, and finally shellac. The game will have for treasure chests on the x's. Sometimes it's fun to have a challenge that's outside your normal making and doing.<br />

About 8 years ago my parents traveled with my high school Spanish teachers and their students to Peru. My sister was pregnant with her 3rd child, and I had just found out that I was expecting Abraham. After a great trip they returned with gifts. Among them was an old crone doll and a scarf. The doll sits in my studio--her hair still in two braids and her hands perpetually rolling cigarettes to sell. My scarf is wound around my neck the majority of year. It is the perfect weight and warmth. It's never itchy and goes with just about everything I wear. If my house was ever on fire, it would be the one thing I'd rescue from the flames. My mom gave similar scarves to my sisters and my grandma. The latter would wear hers as faithfully around her shoulders just as my crone doll wears her shawl. The beautiful reds would show off her white hair. <br />
<br />
Ever since, I've wanted to recreate this scarf, but my lack of knowledge and skills has hindered my efforts. I'm afraid this project may become my white whale, and if that is the case, please bury me in my failed attempts.<br />

This piece that I wove on Martha's loom is one such failed attempt. It took me many, many moons to complete it considering I sort of abandoned it for other things after I began it. It was the first time I had worked with such fine gauge wool and the delicate quality of it caused many problems. I either need to take more classes and instruction or just make more pieces. Unfortunately its an expensive medium to experiment with. Perhaps one day, I can travel to Peru and learn from their long tradition of weaving. For the time being, I'll be returning to cotton and repurposed jersey tees. <br />

Kids love to give their drawings and paintings a good squeeze. I don't know if it is detectable here, but this batch is a bit smaller in dimension and together with their crimped edges they make me think of postage stamps which I think would be another idea for this project. I can imagine older kids drawing portraits of famous people, painting them, and sewing them up. Oh whimsy . . . <br />

Fifty nifty fruity pebble states are painted at Lincoln Elementary!!! Our destiny as hard working parents, well invested in our children's school, was made manifest this past Saturday as Faith, Nathalie, and I primed and painted our remaining states. Exhausting our primer, we decide to return for the Great Lakes, sea creatures, and touch ups. I wonder where in the U.S. is Carmen Sandiego?<br />

Faith and I spent the entire day painting Wednesday which means that we had several audiences of curious students and passersby during recesses and really sore knees. It was chilly, windy, and grey, but the rain stayed away until late last night. Hopefully our work was dry enough to hold. Faith had the brilliant idea of having the kids draw chalk images that would be in the ocean--submarines, mermaids, and pirate ships. We took photos of them and may paint a few of them in our oceans. <br />
<br />
I think the colors look great. We have two more to use. This whole project reminds me of a similar exercise in middle school geography where we had to color in a map using four colors--the minimum required so that no two of the same color touch. Anyone else remember something like this?<br />

We worked on lots of fun projects today including painting our pillows, painting some bugs which we will do more with next week, and making rain pictures. I loved seeing the kids get messy today, and I can totally relate to their affinity for a rainbow of paint. Painting days are always fun. I was especially impressed with students who took the projects beyond my conception.

Schedules and weather cleared up this Mother's Day. So, Faith and I began working on the US map project at Lincoln. We began by stenciling the dotted outline. This was hugely changeling until we ignored the included directions and figured out a more effective method. We were supposed to lay out and tape all of the stencils and then spray the dots, but the wind was literally tearing our stencil apart. So we sprayed as we unrolled the stencils re-rolling as we went along careful to not expose too much surface turning our stencil into a kite. We managed to prime most of our first group of states (which will be painted green eventually) before the thunderstorms began. How does it look so far?<br />
